Indu Malhotra first woman lawyer set to be Supreme Court judge

The government is learnt to have cleared the appointment of senior advocate Indu Malhotra as a judge of the Supreme Court, sources in the Law Ministry said on Wednesday.

The Supreme Court Collegium had also asked for appointment of Uttarakhand Chief Justice KM Joseph as a Supreme Court judge.

A previous recommendation of the Supreme Court collegium made in 2016 proposing transfer of Justice Joseph from Uttarakhand to Andhra Pradesh remains on hold with the government.

On January 22, the apex court collegium's file recommending the elevation of Justice Joseph and Malhotra reached the Law Ministry.

However, Malhotra's recommendation was caught in the crossfire of politics as the Centre appeared to be disinclined to elevate Chief Justice Joseph.

Justice Joseph, the fourth senior most judge after CJI Misra, had pointed out that the Executive has never sat this long on the recommendation put forth by the Collegium.

According to settled law as well as the draft Memorandum of Procedure (MoP), the set of rules that guides appointments to the higher judiciary, judges of the Supreme Court and the high courts are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the collegium.
